January Empies

 

 

I have a big empties this month since it is for the last past two months. I have a little bit of everything. If you want to see the products I used up then keep on reading.

Brush Cleaner

Nyx Brush Cleaner- This product works great for my brushes and comes with more product then Mac brush cleaner comes with for around the same price. Gentle enough on my brushes but gets all the dirt out and leaves them smelling fresh and clean.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Multi-Surface Concentrate- Work great on dirty sponges when nothing else works. It also works great on cleaning counter tops and etc. A useful cleaning product to have in your home because its multipurpose.

Makeup Wipes

Yes To Cucumbers Travel size (10 count)- I used up two packs of the travel size packs. They had a strong smell of cucumbers which I didn’t mind but some people do not like fascial wipes to have a scent.  They did work for removing makeup and left my skin with a cooling feeling afterwards.

ELF Makeup Remover Cleansing Clothes (20 Count)-  These worked great. The wipe had enough product on it and also there really wasn’t a strong scent to them. The packaging is also great because there is a flap so the wipes do not dry out.  The price point is great and I will repurchase this product when I run out of the stash I have.

Love & Beauty Grapefruit Cleansing Tissues (30 Count)- These worked fine but had a strong scent of alcohol . This product is good for cleaning swatches but I prefer not to put them on my face cause of the strong smell of alcohol.

Body Prescriptions Aloe Vera Infused Makeup Cleansing Wipes (60 Count)- These wipes I loved the size because they were fairly bigger than most makeup wipes. They also had a nice scent. I would not be able to use them on their own though which was a let-down for me. I would pair it with a cleansing oil and they worked great to remove my makeup because washing my face.   

Oral Care

Lavoris Mouthwash Whitening Rinse- This is a great expensive mouth wash. I always see myself repurchasing the brand of mouth wash because it is not to harsh. I can also use it as a prewash like before I brush my teeth, which helps when brushing since I no longer have wisdom teeth.

I used up two (2) Colgate toothpaste one in the kind sparkling white and in the scent Mint Zing. The clams are that it whitens and helps protect teeth from stains. The other one was from the Max Fresh line in the scent Mint Fusion.  The clams are that it helps destroy nasty odors and fight lingering food aftertastes. I realized that the scent and taste of this product is so strong that I could go without using mouthwash that day and to me I would be okay.

Shower, Body & Hair Care

Avon Exotic Waters Body Spray- This is one of my favorite body sprays from Avon because of the scent. It last long throughout the day that it feels as if you have perfume on and not a body spray. The scent notes are “ Take a dip into paradise and let this fresh tropical fragrance take you away from the everyday. “

Lush bar soap in the scent Sandstone(Sample Size)- This soap was more of a man scent which from time to time is nice. The size I received was of a decent size so I was able to see if I liked it or not and I can say I would not mind buying a full size. It did not leave my body feeling dry like some bar soaps do afterwards.  You can always get samples at the store if you are a little iffy about a product and because of the price you may not want to go all in and purchase without knowing if you will like it or not.

Up & Up Five Blade  (Travel Size)- I received this in a Target Beauty box and the claims are that they are comparable to Venus Embrace. I did really like them and they worked great. I didn’t have to use a shaving cream if I didn’t want to. In the end it can be affordable because I do not always need to buy a shaving cream since the strip has enough product to get the job done.

Tini ME! Gotta Have It Pomegranate Bath Ice Cream (Travel Size)- These worked good and got the job done. I wouldn’t say that they are better than Lush Bath Bombs because I love those but these are more affordable and can be found in Target.  The scent did not last long in the bath and would wear off before I was done in the bath.

Silk Bubble Bath in the scent Cherry Blossom- I love this bubble bath from the dollar tree. It has a gentle formula and doesn’t feel harsh on the skin. The claims on the back show that it helps with your PH balance which if you need that then this would be a very affordable product to use.

Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care- This works great and gets the job done. It also smells wonderful because it is made with almond oil. The claims are that it is clinically proven to help restore scalp’s natural moisture and it really does. My scalp does not itch at all when I use this product. I already have another one in my shower. I can’t go without this product.

Olay Brush Head- I used another Olay brush head for my Olay cleansing system. It works just as great as the high end ones do just at an affordable price point.  I replace them every three months. Right now I am using one that I ordered off Amazon which was way cheaper then the actual Olay ones. I paid around $5 bucks for two (2) different type of brush heads and it came in a nice bag. The brush heads are the sensitive kind and the sponge one that is used for makeup application. I will keep you posted on how they work.

You Are Amazing Hello Beautiful Skin Body Lotion in the scent Juicy Grapefruit- This body lotion is paraben free. The scent of this lotion stays on the body for a while that it can replace a body spray or a perfume even. The scent notes are “ Let Your Passions Out with the bright, citrusy essence of juicy grapefruit. Our moisturizing body lotion keeps skin hydrated all day long so you can keep illuminating the world”.

Face Mask

Dabo Eco Life Style Green Tea Essence Mask Pack- This was an okay sheet mask and it brought moisture to the face. The claims on this mask are that the green tea extract has an excellent convergent effect which helps the skin looking clear and clean.  I did not see it help clear up my skin but I can say that the sheet was not too thick but also not too thin at the same time. It was the perfect size for my face and did not slide around.

Sephora Pearl Mask-  This is a great sheet mask . The Sephora ones are by far one of my favorite sheet masks to buy. The perfecting and brightening one is also my favorite type out of this line. The sheets are fiber mask so they are not thin but also not too thick and sit perfectly on the face without sliding off.

Lush The Sacred Truth Fresh Face Mask- he claims on this mask are “ The truth is that fresh ingredients enhance and revive your complexion. Keep your skin in beautiful condition with anti-oxidant wheatgrass, green tea and enzymic papaya”
